Following the neuroengineering workshop held in London in March 2012, leading researchers from McGill and Imperial College London re-united at the Neuro on January 25th, 2013 to promote and facilitate further collaborations in neurotechnology research between the two Universities.

Research from the laboratory of leading Parkinson's Disease (PD) investigator, Prof. David T Dexter, has helped identify the mechanisms that may contribute to cell death and neuroprotection in PD.  His lab has been instrumental in providing evidence that the mechanisms of neurodegeneration includes oxidative stress, altered iron metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.
